Skid Row was the soundtrack to some of the best and worst years of my life, I was a lucky enough to see them live twice. Once opening for Aerosmith in Oakland, then a few years later headlining in Sacramento. I've always thought Skid Row song were impossible for anyone to sing other than Bach, and was happy to just let Skid Row be a great memory. I've heard dozens of bands and singers try to perform Skid Row songs, and I never liked a single one. Then I hear Lizzy singing these songs, and Damn if there was anyone that could replace Sebastian, it's her. Thank you for taking me back to High School.
It's not about being a hater or anything like that. Lizzy Hale is a great singer and there's no doubt about that. But it seems that the vast majority of deaf people forget that she is a female singer and therefore, she has a high vocal register with which she can sing the high notes almost naturally. The point is another: To be the frontman of a band like Skid Row and displace Sebastian Bach you must have the aggressive attitude to devour the stage, take over the space and destroy the audience. And like it or not, Sebastian Bach has all those components as Ronnie Dio, Ray Gillen, Glenn Hughes, etc. There´re singers who play in other leagues. Cheers to them!
